Two Canadian drug smugglers were arrested for $30 million worth of cocaine after flaunting their luxurious lives on Instagram. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. http://tytnetwork.com/join
"Today’s social-media life lesson: Just because your life looks good on Instagram doesn’t mean you won’t be busted for cocaine smuggling.
On Sunday, two Quebecois women were arrested with over $30 million worth of cocaine when they docked in Sydney, Australia, after two months traveling the world on luxury cruise ship the MS Sea Princess. Melina Roberge, 22, and Isabelle Lagacé, 28, face life in prison after Australian police found a combined 200 pounds of cocaine in their suitcases — Australia’s largest ever cocaine bust on a boat or plane — as well as in the suitcase of 63-year-old QuebecerAndreJorge Tamine, whose connection to the girls remains unclear.
According to Vice, Roberge documented most of the voyage on Instagram, which included sipping coconuts on a sandy beach and ATV riding. I’ve gotta say, aside from that last day, the trip looked great!”*

CBS Miami's Rudabeh Shahbazi reports on the former Dolphins coach who resigned over a video that she released showing him snorting a white powder.

Campaign: this describes either a subset of the theatre of operation, or a more limited geographic and operational strategic commitment, such as the Battle of Britain, and need not represent total national commitment to a conflict, or have broader goals outside of the military impact.

Set theory (music)

Musical set theory provides concepts for categorizing musical objects and describing their relationships. Many of the notions were first elaborated by HowardHanson (1960) in connection with tonal music, and then mostly developed in connection with atonal music by theorists such as AllenForte (1973), drawing on the work in twelve-tone theory of Milton Babbitt. The concepts of set theory are very general and can be applied to tonal and atonal styles in any equally tempered tuning system, and to some extent more generally than that.

One branch of musical set theory deals with collections (sets and permutations) of pitches and pitch classes (pitch-class set theory), which may be ordered or unordered, and can be related by musical operations such as transposition, inversion, and complementation. The methods of musical set theory are sometimes applied to the analysis of rhythm as well.

Mathematical set theory versus musical set theory

Although musical set theory is often thought to involve the application of mathematical set theory to music, there are numerous differences between the methods and terminology of the two. For example, musicians use the terms transposition and inversion where mathematicians would use translation and reflection.
Furthermore, where musical set theory refers to ordered sets, mathematics would normally refer to tuples or sequences (though mathematics does speak of ordered sets, and although these can be seen to include the musical kind in some sense, they are far more involved).

Purple Naked Ladies

Purple Naked Ladies is the debut studio album by hip hop soul band The Internet, a duo consisting of Syd tha Kyd and Matt Martians of Odd Future. The digital version of the album was released on December 20, 2011, with a physical copy, with bonus tracks released on January 31, 2012. The album is the first physically released album on Odd Future's own record label Odd Future Records.

Singles

The album's first single, "Love Song -1" was released on September 14, 2011. The second single, "They Say", which features Tay Walker, was released on October 4, 2011, though before its single release, it was included on the Odd Future compilation album 12 Odd Future Songs. The third single, "Cocaine", which features Left Brain, had its music video premiere on Odd Future's YouTube page on October 31, 2011. It was released as a single to the iTunes Store on November 8, 2011, as a 3 track EP including "Love Song -1" and "They Say" as tracks 2 and 3 respectively. The fourth single, "Fastlane", was released on January 19, 2012.

Cocaine (PaaS)

Cocaine (Configurable Omnipotent Custom Applications Integrated Network Engine) is an open sourcePaaS system for creating custom cloud hosting apps that are similar to Google App Engine or Heroku.

Any library or service can be implemented as a service in Cocaine using a special API. Several indispensable services have already been implemented this way, including a service for detecting a user's region or language, a service for accessing MongoDB storage, and a URL fetcher.

History

In times when cloud technologies were not yet popular, Andrey Sibiryov, the project founder, discovered Heroku. At that time Heroku was an app engine supporting only Ruby but the idea was somewhat revolutionary. It was possible to create a Ruby app, push it to the cloud and do not pay attention to any infrastructure problems. Load balance problems were covered as well.

The idea was great but it was hard to find any description how it worked, which became a reason to start yet another open source cloud app engine project. The same logic was followed by many developers, which lead to many cloud project start up.

Cocaine: An Unauthorized Biography

Cocaine: An Unauthorized Biography (ISBN 0312286244) is a 2002 non-fiction book about the history of cocaine, written by Dominic Streatfeild and published by Diane Publishing Company. The 2003 paperback edition (ISBN 0-312-42226-1) was published by Picador. The book investigates cocaine from the chewing of the coca leaf to the large scale trafficking of cocaine into the United States.

Streatfeild goes into lucid detail about the history that the coca leaf had with the Native Americans and their Spanish overlords. He also investigates the life and impact of the world's most famous cocaine addict, Sigmund Freud. Written with sobering statistics and personal humor, Streatfeild travels to a number of locations, including to New York, indigenous areas of South America, and ultimately to Colombia to meet with the Ochoa family. Prior to his trip to Colombia, is unable to obtain life-insurance, and proceeds without it.

Within the book, the author interviews some of the most notorious figures directly involved in the distribution of Cocaine including George Jung, whose life story was depicted in the 2001 film Blow and "Freeway" Ricky Ross, the man attributed with the explosion of Cocaine use in California in the 1980s.

Gary Webb: In His Own Words (2002) | CIA Cocaine Dark Alliance

Originally shared by Guerrilla News Network on archive.org. Creative CommonsGary Webb, the Pulitzer prize-winning reporter who broke the story of the CIAs involvement in the importation of cocaine into the U.S., died December 10, 2004, reportedly from self-inflicted gunshots to the head.
It was a tragic end to a brilliant, and tragic, career.
In August 1996, the San Jose Mercury News published Webbs 20,000 word, three-part series entitled Dark Alliance. The articles detailed the nexus between a California coke kingpin, CIA officials and assets and the Nicaraguan Contra army, whose funding had been cut off by an act of Congress in the mid-80s. Webb found evidence that the CIA had direct contact with the smugglers, knew the proceeds were going to fund the murderous Contras, and tried to cover it up when other law enforcement agencies began investigating. The most troubling aspect to the story was that the central player was no ordinary drug lord. He was the man many credit for popularizing crack, the highly addictive, smoke-able form of cocaine.
For many African-Americans, the story smacked of a grand conspiracy to destroy the black community. There were rallies in Watts and Compton, and heated discussions on black media across the country. Members of the Congressional Black Caucus called for a federal investigation. In November 1996, CIA directorJohn Deutch appeared at Locke High School in South Central Los Angeles to personally answer to the allegations. He was met with loud jeers. It was a PR disaster.
But it was Webb who found himself on the ropes. Ironically, the CIA did little to publicly counter his allegations. Instead, the media did its dirty work for them, most notably the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post. The mainstream media accused Webb of exaggerating his findings.

Record Cocaine Seizure for UK Navy

A British Royal Navy helicopter fires at a boat used to smuggle drugs off the coast of South America. It's on this boat that the British navy says it made its largest ever seizure of cocaine, five and half tons of the drug, with a street value of 379 million dollars (USD). The 138-foot fishing boat was spotted by a Royal Navy helicopter in an area known for trafficking. This led to the swoop in a joint operation with the U.S.Coast Guard. It took more than 24 hours of intensive searching of the drug runner's vessel for the stash to be found, smashing through a concrete floor and unbolting steel panels. The 212 large packages -- each weighing 26 kgs – were hidden under the ship's regular stores. After the bust, the vessel which showed signs of trouble, began drifting towards a major shipping lane, prompting the naval crew to try and sink it with gunfire. The British Navy has hailed this as a massive blow to the narcotics industry. Since March 2008, it has seized drugs worth a total of 774 million dollars (USD).

It was a tragic end to a brilliant, and tragic, career.
In August 1996, the San Jose Mercury News published Webbs 20,000 word, three-part series entitled Dark Alliance. The articles detailed the nexus between a California coke kingpin, CIA officials and assets and the Nicaraguan Contra army, whose funding had been cut off by an act of Congress in the mid-80s. Webb found evidence that the CIA had direct contact with the smugglers, knew the proceeds were going to fund the murderous Contras, and tried to cover it up when other law enforcement agencies began investigating. The most troubling aspect to the story was that the central player was no ordinary drug lord. He was the man many credit for popularizing crack, the highly addictive, smoke-able form of cocaine.
For many African-Americans, the story smacked of a grand conspiracy to destroy the black community. There were rallies in Watts and Compton, and heated discussions on black media across the country. Members of the Congressional Black Caucus called for a federal investigation. In November 1996, CIA directorJohn Deutch appeared at Locke High School in South Central Los Angeles to personally answer to the allegations. He was met with loud jeers. It was a PR disaster.

"Today’s social-media life lesson: Just because your life looks good on Instagram doesn’t mean you won’t be busted for cocaine smuggling.
On Sunday, two Quebecois women were arrested with over $30 million worth of cocaine when they docked in Sydney, Australia, after two months traveling the world on luxury cruise ship the MS Sea Princess. Melina Roberge, 22, and Isabelle Lagacé, 28, face life in prison after Australian police found a combined 200 pounds of cocaine in their suitcases — Australia’s largest ever cocaine bust on a boat or plane — as well as in the suitcase of 63-year-old QuebecerAndreJorge Tamine, whose connection to the girls remains unclear.
According to Vice, Roberge documented most of the voyage on Instagram, which included sipping coconuts on a sandy beach and ATV riding. I’ve gotta say, aside from that last day, the trip looked great!”*

A British Royal Navy helicopter fires at a boat used to smuggle drugs off the coast of South America. It's on this boat that the British navy says it made its largest ever seizure of cocaine, five and half tons of the drug, with a street value of 379 million dollars (USD). The 138-foot fishing boat was spotted by a Royal Navy helicopter in an area known for trafficking. This led to the swoop in a joint operation with the U.S.Coast Guard. It took more than 24 hours of intensive searching of the drug runner's vessel for the stash to be found, smashing through a concrete floor and unbolting steel panels. The 212 large packages -- each weighing 26 kgs – were hidden under the ship's regular stores. After the bust, the vessel which showed signs of trouble, began drifting towards a major shipping lane, prompting the naval crew to try and sink it with gunfire. The British Navy has hailed this as a massive blow to the narcotics industry. Since March 2008, it has seized drugs worth a total of 774 million dollars (USD).

Gary Webb: In His Own Words (2002) | CIA Cocaine Dark Alliance

Originally shared by Guerrilla News Network on archive.org. Creative CommonsGary Webb, the Pulitzer prize-winning reporter who broke the story of the CIAs involvement in the importation of cocaine into the U.S., died December 10, 2004, reportedly from self-inflicted gunshots to the head.
It was a tragic end to a brilliant, and tragic, career.
In August 1996, the San Jose Mercury News published Webbs 20,000 word, three-part series entitled Dark Alliance. The articles detailed the nexus between a California coke kingpin, CIA officials and assets and the Nicaraguan Contra army, whose funding had been cut off by an act of Congress in the mid-80s. Webb found evidence that the CIA had direct contact with the smugglers, knew the proceeds were going to fund the murderous Contras, and tried to cover it up when other law enforcement agencies began investigating. The most troubling aspect to the story was that the central player was no ordinary drug lord. He was the man many credit for popularizing crack, the highly addictive, smoke-able form of cocaine.
For many African-Americans, the story smacked of a grand conspiracy to destroy the black community. There were rallies in Watts and Compton, and heated discussions on black media across the country. Members of the Congressional Black Caucus called for a federal investigation. In November 1996, CIA directorJohn Deutch appeared at Locke High School in South Central Los Angeles to personally answer to the allegations. He was met with loud jeers. It was a PR disaster.
But it was Webb who found himself on the ropes. Ironically, the CIA did little to publicly counter his allegations. Instead, the media did its dirty work for them, most notably the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post. The mainstream media accused Webb of exaggerating his findings.

We spent six hours today taking down the trees and brush that are blocking the Hester Coke ovens at Brinkerton. This bank of ovens was only in full operation for about 12 years until 1912. They were continually rebuilt and refired through the century up to around 1972 when they were shutdown Permanently.

France-UK drugs sting nets cocaine haul in Azores

A joint French-British anti-drugs operation was behind the seizure last week of an estimated 70 million euros worth of cocaine in the Azores, the islands in the Atlantic Ocean which belong to Portugal.
The haul which weighed over a tonne was found hidden on board a yacht moored in the port on Faial Island during the night of 27 to 28 May.
The French government says a Serbian criminal gang was trying to ship the cocaine from the Caribbean to Europe.
The seizure was the latest in a series of su…

Campaign: this describes either a subset of the theatre of operation, or a more limited geographic and operational strategic commitment, such as the Battle of Britain, and need not represent total national commitment to a conflict, or have broader goals outside of the military impact.
